HIGH SCORE🏆

Tommy Pham Was Right dominated the league this week with an impressive 153pts. That's the highest score of the season so far 🔥

BOTTOM OF THE PILE😬

It wasn't the finest week for Time Ticklers, who was left in the dust with a lowly 97pts

BRAGGING RIGHTS💪

Tommy Pham Was Right blew out Club Party Team Squad by 25.17pts (153.43pts to 128.26pts)

BAD BEAT🤕

My Kupp Runneth Empty lost to Big Dickson Energy by a razor thin margin of just 0.62pts! Keep an eye on those stat corrections... 😰

LUCKY BREAK🍀

the griddy comittee owes a gift to whoever made the schedule. They stole a W this week despite Time Ticklers being the only team they would have beaten! 🤯

NOT SO LUCKY...😡

Asterisky Business had a 8-3 all-play record, but still ended up taking the L

SHARP-SHOOTER🎯

It's time to wonder if Club Party Team Squad can see the future (or got a hold of Biff's sports almanac), as they nailed this week with a perfect 100% accuracy score 🔮 💯

DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS🛡

Big Dickson Energy focused on all three phases of the game this week, getting a huge 33pts from the Buffalo Bills DST to propel them to victory. (The '85 Bears would be proud of you...)

WAIVER WIRE GEM💎

Tip your cap to the griddy comittee. They scooped up Tank Dell from the waiver wire this week, who helped them secure that all-important win!

Seattle* Bush League 2.0 Week 3 Recap

Folks, a non-zero percentage of us here at Fantasy Genius are Broncos fans – so I hope you don’t mind if we pivot and spend the entire recap ignoring this week’s fantasy action and instead discussing the Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce situationship. Frankly, it would be massive for our business if we can get the Swifties in the Fantasy Genius ecosystem, so we gotta shoot our shot.

In all seriousness, the story of the week in fantasy is how bad our beloved Broncos were. We dealt with the pain the only way we knew how – crunching numbers. We decided to look at who (prior to Sunday) was the greatest RB2 on his own team in a single week. These numbers are standard scoring.

Mostert & Achane this Sunday:

RB1 Achane: 47.3

RB2 Mostert: 38.2

Previous best #2 RB performance from same team (2016 Falcons, Week 3):

RB1 Tevin Coleman: 26.9 (VULTURED 3 TDs from Freeman)

RB2 Devonta Freeman: 26.7

Achane is only rostered in 69% of FG leagues and was unfortunately only started in 11% of those. Those 31% of leagues are running to the waiver wire right now like:

Over 12,000 teams across FG, only a single person (a true Fantasy Genius) had the courage to start both Achane & Mostert in week 3. And shockingly, they were only 1st in their league by about 5 points. Rest of their team must have been trash.

Final thing we’re going to say about the Broncos – some supposedly smart people have ideas for how to capitalize monetarily off of Sunday’s shellacking. Don’t sleep on the hyperlinks in this email - they are gold.

This week’s awards likely hinge on if you had any Dolphins rostered, and if so, what you did with them.

There’s winning and then there’s pure disrespect. Like beating a professional team by 50 points and kneeling so that you don’t “humiliate” them. If Club Party Team Squad was Groot, Tommy Pham Was Right pulled a Fargo and put them ass-first into a woodchipper this week.

The matchup between Big Dickson Energy and My Kupp Runneth Empty was tighter than that paper that holds Orbit gum in place. There’s a special place in hell for whoever designed that packaging. I’m trying to pull out a single piece of gum and next thing you know, I’m going into goblin mode on the packaging and ripping the entire thing apart. In any event, big time W for Big Dickson Energy who stole one this week - you were The Lucky One.

Week 3 Stud 💪

Raheem Mostert

RB - Tommy Pham Was Right

+31 pts vs median RB

41.7 points

This week's MVP, Raheem Mostert went Mike McDaniel Mode all over everyone, netting an impressive 41.7 points for Tommy Pham Was Right. He put the team on his back en route to a big victory this week. Rough day for anyone playing this guy – they looked like the QB who throws an obvious pick 6 and then does that little half jog to make it look like they’re trying to catch a cornerback with 4.3 speed. Might as well have not even shown up.

Week 3 Dud 👎

Bryce Young

QB - Time Ticklers

-19.20 pts vs median QB

0 points

Some say you have to hit rock bottom before you rise from the ashes. Bryce Young is taking that cliche to heart and just swan dove straight into the asphalt with their week 3 performance here. Time will tell if this is a temporary blip and he pulls a yo-yo on us but honestly I doubt it. Absolutely pathetic performance from this man – he’s so bad but he does it so well.

The Fantasy Genius power rankings are the best way to measure who has truly been the best team in the league thus far. No surprise that for this league, that distinction is held by Tommy Pham Was Right. But a lot like the NFL power rankings, data is a liar sometimes (NSFW). Just ask the Cowboys (3-4 in most NFL Power Rankings after week 2) who lost to the Cardinals (dead last in every NFL power rankings I could find. Literally dead last in all of them). If you’re near the bottom of the rankings (yeah, I’m talking about you Big Dickson Energy) after this week, take a note from the Cardinals and Kevin Garnett. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLEE!!!

If the griddy comittee cares about fantasy, they are as mad as Joe Namath watching the Zach Wilson-led Jets on Sunday. Broadway Joe giving college football fan yelling on a message board energy and we are here for it. Starts with just being a little angry at particular plays and inevitably ends up suggesting the entire organization needs to clean house. Very similar to Dolphins legend Nick Saban starting out calmly answering a question from a radio caller and slowly working himself up into 10/10 rage.

The FG unpaid interns have been hard at work digging into the chances each team will have in the postseason based on their record after week 3. We’ll send out that analysis later this week but a quick teaser:

If you’re 0-3, your team probably stinks. That much is clear. But you have about a 20% chance at making the postseason so keep hope alive! Having said that, your chances of winning it all aren’t great though so you’re going to need to make some serious roster moves ASAP.

Please follow us on social... my god is our Twitter game in shambles. I’ve been cooking up what I thought were some good tweets and just getting no traction. Someone from Gen Z please help me. Shout out to my man @Daniel_the_Chef for being my only reliable like. Ride or die.
